Date Tasted:
Country: USA

Medium copper color. Aromas and flavors of brown butter cake, chocolate and cinnamon, chocolate orange peel, and maduro cigar with a satiny, dryish medium-to-full body and a long finish with nuances of vanilla, brown sugar and baking spices, chocolate covered brandied cherries, and cascara. Rich and flavorful, this Rum is so complex but so approachable; the perfect companion for a full bodied cigar on a warm summer evening.

Rum Aged more than 3 Years

Añejo and Age-Dated Rums are aged Rums from different vintages or batches that are mixed together to insure a continuity of flavor in brands of Rum from year to year. Some aged Rums will give age statements stating the youngest Rum in the blend (e.g., 10-year-old Rum contains a blend of Rums that are at least 10 years old). A small number of French island Rums are Vintage Dated.
